:46:05
The king... restricted.
:46:09
The bishop... charmingly diagonal.
:46:13
And now
the problem of the knight.

:46:22
My dear, your uncle...
:46:23
is the laughingstock
of the entire neighborhood...

:46:26
and I do not relish
claiming a lunatic as an uncle.

:46:29
Oh, come, come, doctor.
The good Señor Quijana...

:46:32
has been carried away
by his imagination.

:46:35
Señor Quijana has lost his mind
and is suffering from delusions.

:46:40
- Is there a difference?
- Exactitude of meaning.

:46:42
I beg to remind you
I am a doctor.

:46:44
The innocent must pay
for the sins of the guilty.

:46:47
Guilty? Of what?
Of gentle delusion?

:46:50
How do you know it is gentle?
He was armed.

:46:53
With sword and lance.
:46:55
I cannot favor the madness that
puts a sword into his hand...

:47:00
but I can love the gentle
spirit that moves him...

:47:03
to measure his sword with evil.
:47:04
I shall concern myself
with his madness, father...

:47:07
and leave the care
of his spirit in your hands.

:47:11
Sanson? I had hoped for so much
for us, for you, really.

:47:15
Everything was to be for you...
:47:18
my uncle's house, his lands.
:47:20
That's true, doctor. In time,
they would all be yours.

:47:25
Or you a priest or pawnbroker?
:47:28
What I meant was...
:47:31
- consider the challenge.
- Challenge?

:47:33
Think what cleverness
it would take...

:47:35
to wean him from his madness.
:47:37
Turn him from his course.
:47:39
To persuade him
to come back home.

:47:42
To bring him to see
the same world?

:47:45
Hmm. That is a challenge.
:47:48
Enormous.
:47:49
To work within his lunacy...
:47:51
to cure him through
the very terms that are his own.

:47:56
Come, father. We shall do it.
